Tropical Depression Thirteen Discussion Number 2
Statement as of 11:00 PM EDT on September 19, 2004
the initial motion estimate is 270/10. This motion is
expected to continue through the next 24 hours around the southern
periphery of the deep-layered ridge to its north...the same ridge
that is moving Karl. The consensus of the forecast track models
suggest that the system will move in a west to west-northwest
direction. Based upon this guidance...the official forecast track
has been adjusted significantly to the left of the previous
forecast track. This a major change to the previous forecast
package.
TD thirteen is exhibiting very cold top convection near the center
and intermittently in a band within 160 nm to its NW. The system
has not shown any significant organization over the past the
previous 6 hours as it has been encountering some easterly shear.
Dvorak satellite intensity estimates from both SAB and TAFB are
2.0...just below tropical storm strength. Since the depression is
now following a more westerly track than previously forecasted...
the latest SHIPS model guidance indicates that the shear over the
system will decrease over the next 36 hours... allowing for
strengthening to a tropical storm. After this time the shear
increases...although...continued strengthening is forecast. The
official forecast follows the SHIPS guidance.
